That seems like a pretty inaccurate job title then. Data Engineers are people working with data pipelines, storage, and schemas. They can lean towards more software engineering or towards analytics with dashboarding/machine learning but their primary responsibilities are the former.

Yeah it is a pretty generic title. Regardless it fits my job description pretty well I am an Engineer I work with data.

The people who do the work you mention (schemas etc) are called Database Admins here. They work for Information Services - different department I'm not all that familiar with.
